Ingredients

Pasta:

  • 12 oz bowtie (farfalle) pasta

Ground Beef:

  • 1 lb ground beef

Other:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Boil bowtie pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Brown the beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned (about 5–6 minutes). Drain any excess fat if needed.
  4. Add broth and seasoning: Stir in beef broth, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly reduced.
  5. Combine with pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything well to coat. Drizzle with a little more olive oil if needed for gloss and moisture.
  6. Finish and serve: Plate the pasta, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. Add extra cracked black pepper to finish.
